The application discloses an orange
reactive dye and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the
fine chemical field. The orange
reactive dye is prepared by using m-phenylenediamine as a
coupling component, and sequentially
coupling two kinds of diazonium salts through a first
coupling reaction, a second
coupling reaction and a third
coupling reaction. An additive M composed of
sodium pyrophosphate,
sodium hydrogen pyrophosphate,
sodium hydrogen phosphate,
sodium gluconate, an anionic surfactant and
sodium carbonate is added in the diazotization stage, so that the material dispersibility and the reaction conversion rate are obviously improved, and the diazotization conversion rate can reach 98.7 % in one hour. The dye has bright orange color, the maximum absorption
wavelength is red-shifted, the color is deeper, the color fixing rate and the build-up are better than those of a commercially available
reactive orange 6R, and the light fastness, washing fastness, wet
rubbing fastness and heat pressing fastness are obviously improved. The single-color use has good level
dyeing property, and the compounding can improve the blackness. The preparation process is free of refining and
wastewater and residue
discharge, the product can be directly dried, is green, environment-friendly and low in cost, is suitable for
dyeing and printing of
cellulose fibers,
protein fibers and synthetic fibers, and has
ecological safety and industrial application value.
